PERU - Cafe Femenino
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1000 - 1800m
Roast: Medium
Strength: 3/5
Characteristics: Sweet and nutty flavours with notes of cocoa, maple syrup, pineapple, mild citrus and pomegranate. Good flavour with a smooth, medium body.
Further Information: The women of 'CECANOR' are proud to be the originators of the 'Café Femenino' concept.
While women have always been crucial to coffee production in Peru, men have traditionally held the economic power. In 2004, 464 Peruvian female coffee producers united to change this dynamic and take a step toward empowerment by creating the first 'Café Femenino' co-op. Today over 800 women in six associations are involved in the 'Café Femenino' project. Now, they feel proud to instill in their daughters the expectation that they will grow up not just with equality and independence, but also to become leaders in their community.

Peru Cecanor has been used by us, both as a domestic coffee and as the coffee we use for the B&B my wife and I run. We have never had any guests who don't like it.
We were introduced to MacBeans when we had an excellent coffee in a cafe in Braemar and on asking the proprieter who was his supplier were informed that MacBeans in Aberdeen was his supplier.
Nice
